Animation: Rename "Bake Curve" to "Keys to Samples" #111049

Merged
Christoph Lendenfeld merged 5 commits from ChrisLend/blender:bake_curve_rename into main 2023-09-08 14:01:55 +02:00

Breaking change since the operator name changes.

Users have been confused about this for a long time.
The term "bake" in the context of animation usually means
to add keys at a given interval without changing the shape of the curve.

The fact that the curve isn't editable after baking was the main issue.

In order to stop the confusion the operator is renamed to "Keys to Samples"
to indicate that there is a conversion happening and that there are no keys afterwards.

The Un-Bake operator has also been changed to "Samples to Keys"

The operator description has been updated to mention that after the conversion
the data is no longer editable.

The "Bake Sound to F-Curves" has been renamed to "Create Samples from Sound"


Discussed and decided in an A&R module meeting

There is the Graph_OT_sample operator which creates keys in the selection.
This will have to be renamed in a separate PR

Fine to add during Bcon2. (Did not test the functionality, just a comment regarding the release cycle)

Other than one nit in one of the operator descriptions, looks good to me!

For the description, maybe:

Bakes a sound wave to samples on selected channels

(Precises phrasing can probably be improved.) To keep the key vs samples distinction clear.
